1
Good morning guys and welcome back.
2
First things first, let me dress the elephant in the room.
3
Yes.
4
I did cut my hair and I know nobody nobody actually noticed that.
5
I've missed you guys.
6
I've missed just doing chill living alone vlogs like we love to do on here.
7
What can I say?
8
I got sucked back in to my toxic relationship with Omegle recently
9
and that has been the reason why I've been slacking on the vlog content.
10
So for that, I'm sorry.
11
I saw this matcha on TikTok and it has strawberry in it or something.
12
Ever since I saw that, all I could think about was going to buy that.
13
So I think I'm going to do that in a few minutes.
14
But to be honest, for this living alone video, I don't really have exact plan.
15
Usually I kind of know like what I'm doing for the day.
16
My dad and brother are actually flying into town right now and they're going to come visit me, which I'm so, so excited about.
17
so i got the strawberry matcha it's so good it's exactly what i expected in like the best way the
18
very pureed and they have maple syrup in here so it's like lightly sweet.
19
I never thought I'd be drinking matcha like this like honestly at all.
20
First it was coffee now it's matcha.
21
New York has really changed me.
22
There was no way I could walk past the street and not vlog it. If you know you
23
sephora really quick there's a couple things i've been needing specifically makeup remover i've been really liking cleansing balms
24
so i might get one of those i'm sweating it's 97 degrees i think
25
which means i need to shower immediately when i get home
26
because that's when my back acne gets really bad
27
when i sweat i have to shower like right away
28
because then i break out i've had pretty bad back acne for a
29
while and that's like the biggest thing because i just like need to
30
okay so i don't actually need any new mascara
31
but i just wanted to show you guys i'm at the
32
two -faced booth section i've been loving like chocolate brown mascara this is their better than sex brown mascara and it's
33
so good i'm actually wearing it today i'm also just counting
34
down the minutes until i get kicked out for filming okay i need to remember the reason i'm
35
balm i love the pharmacy one it's this green clean cleansing
36
balm i sometimes wear waterproof mascara every once in a while
37
that will take it off it's like
38
so hard to get waterproof mascara off you would know
39
if you've worn it it's like so pretty when it's on
40
but it sucks to take it off what else what else
41
i can't believe i haven't gotten yelled at yet i might
42
want to try another one of the say glowy super gels
43
because i love them imagine i just walked that went to sephora vlogged it and didn't show what they got,
44
I would be actually really mad.
45
I just love a good little Sephora haul.
46
I didn't get too much stuff.
47
First thing I got is a restock of one of my favorite highlighters.
48
This is the Say Glowy Super Gel.
49
I ended up getting it in the travel size and it's really nice because it just makes my skin look extra glowy.
50
Me and my mom love this so much.
51
As you guys saw, I was talking about a cleansing balm
52
and I ended up getting the Pharmacy Makeup Melt -Away Cleansing Balm.
53
And then the last thing that I got is probably what I'm most excited the Dio eye patches.
54
If you guys watched my video a few months ago, I recreated Hailey Bieber's makeup routine.
55
And in her makeup routine, she used these eye masks
56
but at the time i couldn't buy them they were out of stock
57
and i've just really been wanting to try these because they're reusable
58
which i think is so cool you're supposed to just take the eye cream
59
that you use every day put it under your eyes
60
and then put these on top i wonder
61
if i can put this in the fridge or not
62
that might be like nice and cooling in the mornings but yeah that's everything that i got
63
um oh oopsies i have some stuff to work on actually
64
one of the main things i need to work on is
65
my apartment situation i'm kind of still trying to decide where i'm going to move after this
66
because my lease is up in 30 days which is kind of stressful
67
so i've been going through the process and thinking about
68
if i want to buy a condo
69
or co -op i've always been really interested in real estate investing i don't really talk about it
70
because i feel like it might be a little bit boring to some people.
71
I'm just kind of trying to decide
72
if i want to invest in a property here
73
or not i'm kind of leaning towards no
74
but regardless i do have to move anyways
75
so i've been like looking at apartments
76
and then i also have a ton of emails to do
77
so i'm going to just work for a little bit also do you guys recognize my necklace
78
if you follow me on tiktok or instagram i did a whole mystery jewelry bang unboxing and i got this
79
so i don't know if you guys remember in my vlog a couple weeks ago i went
80
and i painted a vase at this pottery store i finally got it back it went through the kiln
81
and i'm going to show you guys - Thank you.
82
Don't get your hopes up.
83
I did like little flowers on it The one thing I kind of messed up is like the base paint, but if you turn it like this way, it looks good I rate it like a 7 out of 10
84
So i'm gonna go to the store and grab some fresh flowers for this Especially because my dad and brother are coming.
85
I think it'd be nice to just have this setting out
86
the older I get the more I really appreciate flowers I used to really not care about them
87
because I was like they're gonna die anyways.
88
What's the point?
89
But then I realized it's not about that to cheer yourself up
90
and like make your day really nice anyways let's go get some flowers guys the guy was
91
so nice at the flower shop i ended up checking out
92
and the guy was like oh these ones don't look very
93
fresh i'm gonna get you a new set
94
he got me a fresh
95
very fresh bouquet
96
it's all right i
97
like it it's not my favorite arrangement ever i think the reason i like getting flowers for myself
98
so much is because it just goes to show
99
that you don't need to ask or wait for anybody else to get you them.
100
Obviously, I always talk about this, but you have to take care of yourself as if you would someone you're in a relationship with.
101
And that's like, what's probably helped me with my confidence the most.
102
Doing things for myself that I would do for a boyfriend or a best friend.
103
It's not a waste of money to buy flowers.
104
I used to think that, it's not my dad and brother are coming in about an hour i'm
105
so excited for them to come i've been texting them i think we're gonna go to dinner tonight
106
but before they get here i'm gonna go through my makeup Again, I know it feels like I just did this recently.
107
Of everything in my apartment, my makeup, skincare area gets the messiest the quickest i think a lot of it might be due to the fact
108
that i buy so much stuff and i get pr
109
which is so fun but i do need to go through it pretty often
110
and i always feel so much better after doing it
111
so i'm going to show you guys this is what it
112
looks like right now i need to go through toss some stuff that's probably expired
113
and just like declutter this area it's to the point where i don't even like
114
want to do my makeup anymore because i'm just so overstimulated let's get to organizing you
115
okay my dad and my brother are here
116
so you guys know i've been doing little advice segments in my vlogs
117
because i get a lot of questions from you guys and i just thought it'd be a fun way to
118
Usually I do this alone, but I thought it'd be fun to have my brother and dad join, mostly because they're here.
119
And because I want their opinion.
120
Thank you. That too.
121
Nice to be valued.
122
I'm sorry.
123
It's so sad.
124
I go through my DMs on Instagram, so if you guys have any advice, DM me.
125
I wanted advice on how you deal with making new friends in college and trying your best to not feel lonely.
126
It's been really tough for me, so I just want some insight on how to not feel lonely all the time.
127
The answer is - Oh, you're gonna go first?
128
Sure.
129
Okay.
130
Unless you want to go.
131
You got to really work on keeping an open mind on everything.
132
So I would say from friends, you're going to want to try to meet more new friends than you ever did before.
133
And you're going to want to try more new things than you ever did before.
134
Ashton will have his opinions since he was in college too.
135
Wait, can I read that again?
136
I forget what the question was.
137
Oh my gosh.
138
I agree.
139
I think you kind of have to put yourself out there.
140
Like, my first two months of college were completely different than
141
the rest of my college experience
142
because i put myself out there a lot especially as a transfer i was a transfer
143
so i think i extra had to put myself out there like
144
that i think just joining clubs
145
that you like will automatically bring people who are like -minded to you
146
because you guys like the same things
147
and just like striking up conversation i feel like people are
148
friendlier than you would think like most of the time people are pretty receptive
149
and you're all starting out
150
that way i mean everyone's all coming from the same place you're all starting out as a freshman
151
And I didn't go out as much
152
and I didn't meet people on my floor and I isolated myself
153
and I felt more lonely as the freshman year went on I sort of like grow out of
154
that and I sort of like started to meet new people.
155
I might add to
156
that about the staying in the dorm You don't want to stay in the dorm too much
157
and you probably really don't want to stay on your cell
158
phone all the statistics show the more you're on your phone the The more depressed you could get.
159
Yeah, so definitely when you're first woman try to meet people that are right across from you.
160
Thanks guys Oh, it wasn't recording the whole time.
161
No. Please tell me you're kidding.
162
No, the red button was on.
163
I'm kidding.
164
I'm kidding.
165
Yeah!
166
I need to go to bed immediately.
167
I'm actually so excited though to get unready
168
because my skincare game elevates itself every time that I go through and organize it.
169
It makes me want to actually do my full work skincare regimen.
170
I'm also breaking open my new cleansing balm, so it's just a good skincare night.
171
Oh, I also forgot to say, my dad and my brother are back at their hotel now.
172
No choice but to put this song on.
173
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
174
Surprise!
175
I remembered to do an outro.
176
I am all cozy.
177
By the way, I loved that eye mask that I got.
178
I tried it out for the first time tonight and it was so, it was so nice and I just feel cooler using it.
179
Anyways, I'm so tired.

この動画で話す練習をする理由

英語を学ぶ際、実際の会話の流れに触れることが非常に重要です。このビデオでは、日常的な生活の中でのリラックスした対話が展開されており、視聴者は自然体のコミュニケーションを観察することができます。こうした「living alone vlog」は、英語スピーキング練習において実用的なフレーズや表現を学ぶ素晴らしい機会です。特に、独り言のように思えるスピーチのスタイルは、口語表現の理解を深め、聴覚的な理解力を高めます。

文法と表現の文脈

この動画には、いくつかの重要な文法構造と表現が含まれています。

  • 現在完了形: 「I've missed you guys」と言うことで、過去から現在までの感情を表現しています。この形式を通じて、視聴者は「have + 過去分詞」の使い方を学ぶことができます。
  • 未来形: 「I think I'm going to do that」といった表現は、将来の行動についての予測を示す方法です。Futuristicな要素を含む会話の組み立て方を理解することができます。
  • 感情を表すフレーズ: 「I'm so excited about」と感情を強調する表現は、会話の中で感情を伝える重要性を教えてくれます。
  • 条件文: 「If you know you」という表現は、条件を基にした会話形成の良い例です。これは、相手との共通理解を深める助けになります。

一般的な発音の罠

この動画では、いくつかの発音上のトラップも見られます。

  • マッチャ: 「matcha」を正しく発音することは、特に日本の飲み物を話題にする際に重要です。多くの英語話者は、母音の発音が異なるため、注意が必要です。
  • 水色: 「waterproof」という単語は、母国語を英語に置き換えるときに難しさが生じることがあります。特に「w」の音と「a」の音に気を付けてください。
  • アクセント: この動画のスピーカーが自然に話す様子から、英語のリズムやイントネーションを学ぶことができます。「I love them」といった表現を、文脈に合わせて強調する感覚を身につけましょう。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
